The voice of Horatio speaks up from a few feet away where his bed is located "They told me the same thing."

Abbot Birne gives a dry laugh, covering his mouth with the sleeve of his habit so the admiral will not see his laughter

Horatio calls the middle-aged squirrel to his bedside "Father Abbot, I must speak with you."

The Abbot walks over to where Horatio's bed is and stands beside it before pulling up a footstool to seat himself on "What is it, Admiral?"

''Horatio sits up a bit and squints at Birne. He reaches onto the nightstand beside the bed and takes his monocle and puts it on'' "That's better. Well, Father Abbot, we never explained why we came here in the first place."

At eharing this, Abbot Birne thinks for a moment "You're right! That horrible wildcat and his vermin showed up before you could tell me. So, Admiral, what exactly brings you to Redwall Abbey?"
